Well, when I was a child my father taught me how to defend myself against bullies, and I did. That was OK back then. Today it's quite different- masculinity is now considered a mental illness. There was a story of a teenage boy on a school bus who intervened to save a classmate from being stabbed. Since violence was necessary to stop the stabbing, he was expelled along with the kid with the knife. To the zero tolerance folks on school boards, all aggression is equally evil. Don't bother me with the details they say. The message: next time one of your friends is about to be killed, run away and call 911.

Yes, I do.

Just had the privilege to see Fr. Rocky speak about issues in our country and one of his points was how t.v. makes men out to be idiots (same word used in the article).

Funny- I was talking to a friend last night about something similar and about how it has always been considered "normal" and rather commonplace for most men to want to be seen as manly...until now that we have new "gender arrangements."
